Dual bicycle braking system

A bicycle braking system for controlling the de-acceleration of a bicycle, said bicycle having at least a front wheel and a rear wheel, each of said wheels having side walls, said wheels secured to a frame, said frame having handle bars comprising:

• a first caliper brake and a second caliper brake secured to said bicycle frame, each of said caliper brakes positioned about said front wheel for actively engaging said side walls of said front wheel, said first caliper brake having a first set of diametrically opposed brake pads, said second caliper brake having a second set of diametrically opposed brake pads;
• a front brake lever secured to said handle bars of said bicycle for controlling the rotation of said front wheel;
• a rear brake lever secured to said handle bars of said bicycle for controlling the rotation of said rear wheel, said rear brake lever engaging a rear brake cable, said rear brake cable secured to a rear caliper brake positioned to engage said side walls of said rear wheel;
• a primary brake cable engaging said front brake lever, said primary brake cable having a terminal end;
• a short actuating brake cable and a long actuating cable, said short actuating cable having a length that is less than the length of said long actuating cable, said short and long actuating cables joined to said primary brake cable forming a fork, said short actuating cable engaging said first caliper brake, said long actuating cable engaging said second caliper brake such that operation of said front brake lever causes tension in said primary cable to translate into increased tension in said short actuating cable resulting in the braking action of said first caliper brake before tension in said primary cable is translated to said long actuating cable resulting in the delayed braking action of said second caliper brake;
• and,
• an elongated housing encasing said fork, said housing having a primary cable aperture through which said primary cable enters said housing, said housing having two actuating cable apertures through which said short actuating cable and said long actuating cable separately exit said housing.

• a primary brake cable engaging said front brake lever, said primary brake cable having a terminal end;
• and,
• a first actuating brake cable and a second actuating cable, said first actuating cable having a length equal to the length of said second actuating cable, said first and second actuating cables joined to said primary brake cable forming a fork, said first actuating cable engaging said first caliper brake, said second actuating cable engaging said second caliper brake such that operation of said front brake lever causes tension in said primary cable to translate into increased tension in said first and second actuating cables resulting in simultaneous braking action of said first caliper brake and said second caliper brake.
